. >> what we're talking about here is the government's phone data collection program, the so-called metadata program. couple things about that. this paper says that the foreign intelligence court has approved this program 34 times, 14 different judges. it makes clear that one thing that's been sort of confusing out there that the program does not gather location information, in other words it can't tell where a call was made from like a cell phone when it's traveling around. and the second thing that i thought was interesting about it is that it allows the government to look into this database when they get a suspect number, and to go from there three hops out from that number, by which i mean this. when they get a suspect number, they can go in and they can look at what calls that number has made, then as they look at that second ring, they can look at what calls that second ring made, and then they can look at the third ring and what calls that third ring has made. so that clarifies what they can do when they get what they call a seed, a single number, to start to look at. now, there's one

i have fairly -- [inaudible] on the collection of metadata. i am am not a supporter of the collection of metadata in the way they are doing identity -- doing it right now. where there are opportunities for abuse and humans involved, there will be abuses. and i think if you look at the bill of rights and you look at the fourth amendment, it's very easy to think, well, they're violating the constitution. but if you look at the law which is maryland versus smith in 1979, it was a case that stated that there should be no expectation of privacy if there is a collection of the pen registry, and that is the numbers, essentially, from the phone company. so you have a constitution, and you have a law that's sort of at variance with each other right now. what i would say is that i would feel much more comfortable, and i think those who have sort of a libertarian streak would be more comfortable if we just had the phone companies hold the data for five years, the government pays to hold that data, and when we want to go into the data, you've got to have
